Atheists annoy me because they throw out any metaphysical context in favor of all consuming worship of their own intellect

I'm mainly of the same mind - that being said, technology/society has evolved far faster than things like religious systems have been able to keep up. That's why all of this Old Testament stuff seems pretty wanky, because honestly the text was made for a different time.
-
So it's clear that society needs a new prescription, and replacing God with the Logos is putting far too much weight on an individual pillar of what makes us humans. We're not robots.
-
I'm more of the mind that a proper philosophy is one that would likely be considered palatable to most people, grounded on western religious frameworks (like our laws for example) while also being in attunement with biology/psychology and the nature of life itself
-
It's a hard ask to find a philosophy that fits all of these qualities but that's why we've evolved from the allegory of the cave by the greeks to jungian/nietzschean concepts (we even had a spat with freud!) That being said the perfect philosophy as of yet does not exist.
-
Practically speaking, I would simply advise most atheists to check their premises, their lives are much more grounded morally in divinity than their might think, and throwing that/the bible away is just silly.

A good atheist has at least a few books of scripture in his library. The stories are fun and fucked up.
